Can you give me the name of program?

[@KeithGalli]

The turtle graphics library of python. The editor I'm using to write the python code is Sublime Text 3. Does this answer your question?

[@KeithGalli]

This library should come default with python so if you have that, you would have the turtle library. If you want the link to the code i wrote in this video, that's in the Description of the video.

[@yaraabd6955]

Sorry if i disturbed you but i don't need this.. you know the programe (Visual stdio , CodeBlocks..) like this .. 🙁

Through this tutorial, I went from knowing nothing to being able to do fun & cool patterns. Great video. Thanks!

You're doing a amazing job helping beginners like me try my hands at Python and see visual, tangible results. Thanks for that!

[@girlintheyellowdresscrafts7197]

Thank you for showing us what a newbie would do, then for showing us how it can be done to save time and typing, or in other words, the proper way to do the coding. You are the best teacher!

[@halcyondays4922]

THANK you. You are officially saving my coding grades right now man.

[@chrissellings4459]

Thanks Keith, this helped me out so much. You have such a good way of explaining things without them being over complicated. In fact I think I might show this to my students when I teach it! :)

Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind words! Comments like this keep me motivated to keep making more videos :)

Thank you Keith, you are a wonderful instructor! Very clear and precise.

[@Me-mn3kg]

Hey @Keith Galli! I recently found out your channel. I'm new at python and your videos are so helpful. Thanks a lot!

[@jamesstahler]

Thanks, man. I think you did a better job of explaining it than my instructor did.

[@renomado8616]

Some script i have made: import turtle n = 10 d = [360/n, n] a = turtle.Turtle() for i in range(d[1]): a.left(d[0]) a.forward(5) turtle.done() It will draw a polygon of "n" sides N = 10 -> decagon

Thanks for the help, I was trying to graph something using turtle and this video helped a lot.

[@Leopardhound]

thank you, i really like the video and how you explained the concepts. I found it easy to understand and most of all fun. I liked how you told us to give a try at some shapes so that we could try to figure out oursleves how it works! Great video liked and subscribed

[@povsurealism1312]

yo thanks mate you just helped me get a few credits for the university may god bless you, and keep up THE GOOD WORK

THANKS A LOT buddy.. all i needed i found in one video..thanks again

[@ProGamer-jy3gb]

thank you alot , this helped so much... i didnt know anything about this until now

[@mozammelhaqmishuk]

Amazing Python tutorial!

[@HorstChristophSchreiber]

18:30 The turtle language has a repeat command (maybe not in python). If you use the for-loop, you should write "for _ in range(100):", because you don't need the variable (i).

[@reidafesta9131]

for _ in range(x) uses an already declared variable _ which contains the return of an interactive python session. Using a discard as a variable is not a good approach and can lead to misinformation being outputted in python. Declaring a variable on a for loop is not that big of a deal and will not save you any time nor space. A for loop will always create a variable for an iteration. That is just logic.

[@FelixAVargasA]

At the begining, when I see the tittle of this video I said oh beatiful he will draw a turtle that I looking to draw using Python...but not :). Great video and you are a great teacher man .

amazing helped me so much as i am a novice at python

[@excrementor69]

hi, i have a question: Is there any way i can work with (for example centimeters) instead of pixels?? Is there any funtion i can use for, for example, drawing a 5x5 cm square istead of a 5x5 px??

[@vladimirfol1]

Finally I have a perfect video to send to people who ask me how to start programming. For fun. You should include the section how to install the package lol

[@namanvohra8262]

Nice video man! Really Needed this tutorial. Can classes be implemented as well?

[@arunkumar-ct1xl]

this the best python turtle video i ever watched.You are the best!!!! :)

[@JohnSmith-kd6ip]

I didn't know of Turtle until today. This is my first tutorial on this (I am also new to Python, but used other languages before). It looks like a fun module. After a minute or two I tried it myself and created a small loop for a right angle spiral. Easy as pie. Turtle looks like something you can get kids into coding with. length = 10 while length

[@Sh1r449]

This is awesome and Helped me alot I appreciate it ! Thank you,,,

[@manav9518]

This video is too much useful and informative.🔥🔥🔥🔥 2 min silence for those who are searching for turtle module but can't find this video.😅😅

keith i made all of them and its so cool!!!! thanks keith!

Dope Tutorial !!! .... looking forward to more

[@gigachad9336]

eyyy thanks man :D i already learn some python so it was easy to do the "for loops " and something

thanks amigo, this is a wonderful set of examples, hugs

[@lakshyamethwani8399]

Thanks! It helped me a lot. Specially for star tutorial :)

Perfect prog for diagram showed in video. Thanks for the turtorial. import turtle d=turtle.Turtle() d.speed(20) d.color("red", "yellow") d.begin_fill() for i in range(36): d.forward(300) d.left(170) d.end_fill()

[@indexcards9414]

This video helped out with my homework! Thanks!

[@Pythagoras31415]

The video is exactly what I am looking for. I am new to Python. I studied math in college and graduated back in 2005. I didn't use math professionally. I was reluctant to learning Python. I took C Programming and this language seems more suited for me.

[@vixlu1912]

Thanks Keith, Literally have an exam on python tomorrow this helped me a lot

[@KeithGalli]

Glad to hear it! Hope you did well on your exam :)

[@vixlu1912]

Yeah I passed with a breeze cheers man :)

Nice explanation This makes a python more creative and intresting

Keith brother love from India . You are giving a lot of value in this video . But bro i want to request you to just increase volume because its little bit difficult to hear you . Have a great day man .

[@AnDrEwGoMeZ12]

ive been messing around with turtle all day and I like the symmetry you're able to do by applying math functions.. what would the script have looked like for the two examples you showed in the beginning at 1:08 and :56

[@risingbeast6352]

Hi, I had a question, I don't know if you're still responding, but there's a slight chance you do. So whenever I run there codes, it does whatever I tell it to, but then the drawing just disappears instantly. Is there anything you could do to help? Thank You.

[@ashishjoshi911]

the last one took me whole day to figure out what tf was going inside in the function daymmnnn it is really a advance code!

[@shamanthrajreddy1230]

Great tutorial, Thanks!

[@oaywang3053]

Nice! to draw that flower, I just typed forward(100) right(160) ahead (100)... a hundred times before remembering to use copy and paste!!! NICE VIDEO!

[@chubz1568]

hey Keith G I saw the mit poster in the background and was wondering what standards I need to set to get in from the UK so that I can begin working on this goal from a relatively young age.

[@ashishjoshi911]

bro is a straightforward best tuitor

[@brettknoss486]

Cyan Magenta and Yellow are primary colours using additive theory, Blue, Red and Green for subtractive. So cyan and magenta are to be expected.

[@andrewwallo]

for anyone wondering for the flower, use this: for i in range(36): bob.forward(300) bob.left(170)

[@Bobitsaneva]

I finally got it and thank you so muck

Hi Keith, thanks for the tutorial. I'm using sublime and the turtle library ain't working. Any tutorial on how to fix it?

[@ghesboro_]

Great video but how can i edit a python drawing after I saved it? Because when i open it i only can see the arrows that works. (oh, and can i stop the drawing while the arrows is moving?)

[@JordanMetroidManiac]

Open the snipping tool (on Windows, otherwise I don't know what you'd use). Then, to pause the turtle's drawing, click on "New" and select the area on the screen that contains the drawing. You can save this picture and then edit the picture in some image editing software.

[@ert2378]

If I want to draw successive circles and every six circles are the same color, and I have a list of colors with six colors, how can I do this within only one loop, please help me

[@stepsvideos]

My turtle code keeps crashing, unless I type in 'turtle.reset()' in the console window between runs. The window appears, no drawing, and it will not allow you to close it. I'm using Python 3.8, in Spyder editor.

30:36 I found that you take 216 - 180 which equals to 36 and you take that and subtract it from 180 thus you have a 144 which is a perfect angle in order to maintain the direction and not go the other way around
